Mepilex Transfer 15x20 cm: Advanced Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer

Mepilex Transfer 15x20 cm is an advanced, thin, and highly conformable soft silicone wound contact layer specifically engineered for a wide spectrum of exuding wounds. Its innovative design and superior material ensure optimal wound management.

Product Details

Size: 15x20 cm, providing ample coverage for various wound dimensions.
Technology: Features Molnlycke's proprietary Safetac technology, renowned for minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
Type: A highly versatile wound contact layer designed to facilitate efficient exudate transfer from the wound bed into a secondary absorbent dressing.
Intended Use: Ideal for managing a broad range of exuding wounds, including leg and foot ulcers, pressure injuries, traumatic wounds, and surgical incisions.

Benefits of Use

Minimizes Pain & Trauma: The Safetac layer ensures gentle adhesion to the skin but not to the moist wound bed, significantly reducing pain and skin stripping upon removal, which is crucial for patient comfort and faster healing.
Efficient Exudate Management: Its open mesh structure allows exudate to pass freely and efficiently into a suitable secondary absorbent dressing, preventing maceration of the wound and periwound skin.
Protects Wound & Surrounding Skin: The soft silicone contact layer creates an optimal healing environment by protecting the fragile wound bed and maintaining skin integrity.
Promotes Undisturbed Healing: By creating an undisturbed wound environment and gentle adherence, Mepilex Transfer supports the natural healing process.
Highly Conformable: The dressing is thin and flexible, conforming easily to body contours, which enhances patient comfort and ensures continuous contact with the wound surface.
Can Be Left in Place: Depending on the wound condition and exudate level, Mepilex Transfer can be left in place for several days, minimizing the frequency of dressing changes.

How to Use

1. Cleanse the Wound: Gently clean the wound area with saline solution or a wound cleanser, ensuring all debris is removed.
2. Dry Surrounding Skin: Carefully dry the skin around the wound to ensure optimal adhesion of the dressing.
3. Apply Mepilex Transfer: Remove the release films and apply the Mepilex Transfer dressing directly to the wound surface, ensuring it extends slightly onto the surrounding healthy skin.
4. Apply Secondary Dressing: Cover Mepilex Transfer with an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing (e.g., an absorbent foam dressing or a gauze pad) to manage exudate.
5. Secure Secondary Dressing: Secure the secondary dressing in place with a bandage or fixation tape.
6. Change Frequency: The frequency of dressing change depends on the wound condition and exudate level. Mepilex Transfer can remain in place for several days, while the secondary dressing may need more frequent changes.
